Tuesday, December 26, 2017 - Degorgement 25 July 2015. This has become so much more mature in a year. Very nice at the moment. Very mineral and fresh on the nose. On the palette, it reveals a very fine bubble that keep exploding with minerals and fruit. I got one bottle left with the same degorgement. One of the questions I stil have with Initial is if it should be opened quite young or if it ages gracefully. I tend to think it should be opened 2-3 years after degorgement.
